Do you want to enhance your creativity?
The secret might be to stop trying so hard. If you’re blocked or stuck on a project, struggling for words or feel out of ideas, WALK AWAY. Stop thinking about it, quit blaming yourself and above all, don’t castigate yourself for giving up.
You’re not abandoning the project – you’re turning it over to a higher power: your subconscious. Maybe you’ve heard this advice before, but in this week’s show, neuroscientist Heather Berlin explains why learning to shift your brain state can spark new creative insights and connections.
Now you just have to convince your boss that the best way to get that new project moving is a long soak in a hot bubble bath. Installing a productivity-boosting spa is a tough sell for our studios — something about "all the wires" — but we're working on it!
